Picking Your Nose and Eating It Is Good For You!

Sorry, this is gross, but this is a glorious day for everyone who ever got branded the "weird kid" for PICKING THEIR NOSE and EATING it!

Scientists from Harvard and MIT just released the results of a study that found parents should NOT discourage their kids from picking their noses and possibly eating what they find . . . because it's a, quote, "rich reservoir of good bacteria."

They say that when you eat your mucus, it prevents bacteria from sticking to your teeth.  And the good bacteria you're digesting can help fight against everything from ulcers to HIV.

That's right:  EATING YOUR BOOGERS COULD HELP PREVENT AIDS.

If this didn't all sound like an April Fools' joke already, it gets even more surreal:  The scientists say they're now going to start developing a TOOTHPASTE and GUM made out of a synthetic mucus to help you get the nose picking benefits.

But you don't have to wait for that.  You've got the real thing just sitting there in your nose, waiting for your loving touch.
